That is what is consuming me now. I received a layoff notice at my work yesterday. I am fired, or soon to be. I feel like I haves failed my wife and kids and put our way of life at risk. I have never been fired before, and it is a combination of despair, terrified , and failure. What now!
I know that I have to lift my chin and move on. Find a new job and keep on moving. It happens to other people all the time and most come through it a little worse the wear and a whole lot wiser. I want to be the wiser.
So what happened to me? I was so desperate to get out of my last job, that I jumped at an opportunity, ignoring my feelings of caution. I never really fit in at the new place. It was out of my area of expertise and the stretch was too much for me. I know that I am partially at fault, but I felt abandoned and untrained by the new company. I was never even introduced to people.
Right now, I simply feel lost, disoriented, and scared to death. I am going to learn, be cautious, and look out for me next time.
